Thanks, reading the PDF now.

EDIT:

Hmm, the "fur" is impressive.

EDIT2:

Take a look at the video at the bottom of the linked page; it takes forever to download, but it's impressive as well. They screw with the height/projection of the surface in realtime, and it looks good!

EDIT3: argh.

"Wrinkles along tangent space due to piecewise linear texture mapping."

EDIT4: I'll stop editing, I swear :D

One of the papers cited in this paper is: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/273701.html

Take a look.

Looks like an interesting paper.
Quite a few approximations are needed, but then again, normal smoothing is a hack anyway.
Seems like it may provide an alternative to subdivision surfaces for rendering curved surfaces accurately as well.

Is this assertion still relevant ? That sounds interesting.
